.DISCUSSION...
Unsettled weather with daily shower and thunderstorm chances will
continue through Tuesday, with the risk peaking in the afternoon.
Wetting rain chances diminish by the middle of next week.
Elevated humidity and light winds will remain in place through
the weekend. Smoke dispersion will remain poor due to weak flow
aloft with mixing heights peaking around 3000 to 4000 ft AGL.
